GOV. HILL.
He Pays Deserved Tribute to the
Distinguished Dead.


ALBANY. Dec. 24.-Gov. Hill, upon
being informed of the death of Mr..
Manning, said: 'iMr. Manning's death
is a loss to his state, the country and
the Democratic party. Though he held
but one political Office during the many
years of his active life. he was never
theleSS always ready and content to take
his place among those who bore the
planning and carrying out of politics,
which he believed were for the benefit
of his fellow citizens. He naturally be-
came leader in political contests. Mr..
Tilden especially recognized and trusted
his character and capacity. Mr.. Man.
ning's administration as secretary of the
treasury exceeded the high expectations
of his friends. When failing health
compelled him to lay down the honor
able office for which he had been Sc
lected by Mr.. Cleveland, this man,
who was an active politician and
some times, perhaps, even a partisan,
was ilon0red by the appreciative praise
of the bitterest of his opponents 1t is
an agreeable reflection that, after the
heat of political contests is over, the
American people are quick to feel that
upright party service is well as patri-
otto public service. Mr.. Manning was

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-The first in
telligence of the death of ex-Secretary
Manning was received here this after
noon, and at once telephOned to the
presidents mansion and the treasury
department. The news of Mr.. Man.
ning's death, although expected hourly,
was received with sorrow by the preSi-
dent, his cabinet and everybody in adj
miniStratiOn circles. The sad event
throws shadow over the Christmas fes-
tivitieS both at the presidents house
and in the cabinet household, and for
this reason the observance of the hOli-
day at the White house and in the
homes of the presidents cabinet will be
generally restricted. A few minutes
before 2 p. m. the following telegram
was received:
ALBANY, n. Y, Dec. 24.-Col. La
mont: Mr.. Manning died at 1:34.

A few minutes later the president
sent the following dispatch of con-
dolence:
Executive Mansion, Washington, Dec.
24.-Mrs. Daniel Manning, Albany, n.
Y: Though in this hour of unutterable
grief your sorrow is too sacred to be
shared and too deep to be reached by
earthly comfort, may express to you
my sincere and tender sympathy, sad
dened by my own affection at the loss of
a true and trusted friend, and loyal
associate, who but lately stood at ny

THE CHICAGO TIMES.
The Shaking Up On the Force
Has Already Begun.

CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-The Times to-
morrow will say: The first steps were
taken yesterday in the transfer of the
estate of the late Wilbur F. Storey, in
GLIDING the Times, to the people who
have recently purchased it. James j.
West, one of the purchasers, was
appointed receiver as part of the
plan for the ultimate trans
fer to the Chicago Times company. Mrs.
Eureka c. Storey, on the one hand, and
the heirs at law on the other, have con-
veyed all their interests to Mr.. West.
The object of making him receiver tenn
porarily was to protect the cred
itOrS of the estate under the
late receiver, until the necessary legal
steps could be completed. AS soon as an
inventory can be made. and the debts
adjusted, the new owners will assume
editorial control of the paper. Clinton
A. SnOwden, who is associated with
West, stated this evening that there
had been as yet no change in the
working force of the paper,
except that Mr.. G. r. bennett
the night editor, and Frank McClenthen,
one of the writers, had at once quilted
their places. 7. q. Cowles, who pre-
ceded Mr.. bennett as night editor, had
taken up the duties let fall by Mr..
bennett.

BREATHING UNDER WATER
An Explanation of a Famous Di-
ver's Remark able Feat.

ver'S Remark able Feat.
Youths Companion.
The length of time during which a
person can live under water without the
aid of any diving apparatus is Ques-
ton in dispute among scientific men.
Some travellers have told marvellous
stories of the natives of Eastern coun-
tries who were able to stay ten or fifteen
minutes under water, but there can be
no doubt that these are absurd eXagger-
atoms. 1t is well known that the Ordi-
nary divers for coral, sponge and pearl
oysters do not remain under more than
two minutes, and the "men-fsh' who
exhibit in the museums do not exceed
two minutes and half.
The doctors differ in their opinion as
to the time at which death comes in
drowning. Some say in three minutes,
others in five; but none set longer
time than this, except the drowning per-
son faintS, when respiration ceases.
A Frenchman named LacaSSagne has
been for some time studying this sub
ject, and the result of his experiments
and observations are given in the Revue
Scientifique. The man upon whom he
experimental was q famous Hungarian
swimmer named James, who, among
other exploits, once swan from Calais
to Dover, and had remained under
water for four minutes and fourteen
seconds.
Before diving, it was observed that
he first expelled all the air from his
lungs and then took long breath.
After he had been under water for a
minute his heart beats became slow, IL
regular and feeble. After two minutes
and thirty-seven seconds there was a
rush of blood to the head, and his eyes
appeared sunken. Still he continued
to breathe amply and regularly at the
rate OF twenty respiratiOns minute,
while at the same time the observer
noticed that the abdominal cavity
diminished greatly in size.
M. LacaSsagne believes from this, and
from the fact that James was cOntinu-
ally swallowing his saliva, that in draw
ing the long breath at first he swallowed
a quantity of air, and that, the ordinary
respiratory channels being closed, he
takes into his lungs the air contained in
his stomach, and from thence again
taken somewhat purified into his lungs.
That is, in other words, he makes OF his
stomach reservoir for air, fact which,
if true, will account for his ability to
remain for such an extraordinary time
under water. This process, which the
diver performs instinctively and NE
chanically, M. LacasSagne believes can
and should be learned by all swimmers,
as giving them far greater endurance
under the surface than they now
